Thus, the cattle we raise for meat and dairy are sometimes called Bos taurus while the extinct wild form is always called Bos primigenius. The Wild Turkey was used as a food source by Native Americans throughout its range, as far as I know, but in Central Mexico, it was domesticated by horticultural people.

Faithful fans of 10,000 Bird will know that each Friday Mike invites us to comment where we plan to go birding that weekend. Would Las Mesas, the closest to Morelia of these sites, join their ranks as a prime birding spot? This was my fourth and final FOY bird for the day. Of course, not everything interesting is a bird.

No, I am not going to tell you about some blood-sucking bird with hypnotic powers. But the bird is cool, and I need the photos to prove my points. Especially when I compare it with the other cowbird present in central Mexico, the Brown-headed Cowbird. But all this changed with the arrival of Europeans, and their cattle.

Those infinitely patient saints who read all my ramblings know that over the past year I have been obsessed with the gradual disappearance of Mexico’s second-largest lake, Lake Cuitzeo, just north of my home city of Morelia. I am sure this means millions of individual birds were displaced by this drought event.

My previous post on birding here has received some criticism – apparently I was too harsh on the place. True to my own recipe I would arrive a day or two early to go birding. I’d go with Mexican birding buddy Mau, guided by Kingfisher Birding who also provided the bird pictures. The birds warmed us too.

Occurring mostly in southern regions, close to the Gulf of Mexico, SLE is mosquito-borne. The disease can attack domestic pets, such as dogs and cats, as well as livestock, such as horses, chickens, and cattle. The virus traveled across continents because it easily infects birds.
